Remove dead shell code in git-sh-setup, inspired by parallel discussion on another topic (but the two don't conflict): https://lore.kernel.org/git/87lf4f9gre.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ (local) The last two patches were picked from a dropped series of mine submitted earlier this year, it was dropped because of other more complex patches that I haven't included here: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20210311001447.28254-1-avarab@gmail.com/ (local)
[...] Hm, I have scripts here, implementing some porcelain commands which follow the same approach as the git porcelain scripts, e.g. #!/bin/bash SUBDIRECTORY_OK=Yes . git-sh-setup require_work_tree require_clean_work_tree cd_to_toplevel || die "Can't find top level for the git repo" set_reflog_action my-special-script # this will be broken by the patch series I was under the impression that this is how it should be done when one needs to write some custom git scripts. If that is the case, then removing these functions might break some other users scripts out there. At least I have a quite an old self written script here which uses `set_reflog_action`. Obviously I can manage and adapt the script, but the more generic question comes to mind if sourcing git-sh-setup by end users is the correct approach to write porcelain scripts! -Peter
